From Honkytonk Hollywood (2025). Honkytonk Hollywood is the sixth studio album by American neotraditional country artist Jon Pardi. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender Custom Shop 1956 Telecaster Heavy Relic through a Fender '65 Deluxe Reverb Reissue, the rig we use for Jon Pardi's other songs from Honkytonk Hollywood, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.

Can I play "Boots Off" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "Boots Off" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
